The CX2 and AX2 models I have contained the same SMI SM2258XT controller. The CX2 has what appears to be Micron 64L TLC NAND and the AX2 has what appears to be Hynix 64L TLC NAND.

For what it is worth, the older GX2 has the same configuration as the CX2, at least in the ones I have used.

Quote from rg0p :
The AIO HDD is 3.5". Thanks.
TL;DR - You don't need an adapter / bracket, so you can go without one or make your own for free, or simply buy one if you have the time/money.

I also have an older ThinkCentre AIO. When I swapped out the 3.5" HDD, I removed the entire drive and plastic mounting kit, and put the bare 2.5" SSD onto the SATA connector.

In my case, the replacement 2.5" SSD was not very heavy and probably would have easily held on its own if the AIO did not move around much, but I wanted to be extra safe without spending any money or waiting for a part to come in. I ended up cutting a wine cork into the exact sized pieces necessary to wedge the drive perfectly into place so that there was no pressure being applied to the SATA connector. I swap 2.5" drives in and out on it all the time and use the same cork pieces with no issues for over 5 years.

Looks like Lenovo sells a ThinkCentre Slim 2.5" Storage Kit [lenovo.com] for $9.34 (Use eCoupon GIFT15ACC) and free slow shipping, but I can't vouch for it, obviously.

Have been using 2 of these as external game/steam drives for my laptop for a couple years. No complaints.

Quote from ShushiiT :
in your case it could have areas for 2.5" drive which this would fit with some screws if you want a bracket for 3.5" then your AIO probably doesn't have it since it's an AIO which won't ship with additional hardware

most smaller form factor pcs will have 2.5 bays
Ok, I will take a look. Thanks!

Not sure if you have room or sata header for a second drive in the AIO, if not I suppose a Sata to USB cable/enclosure and software to migrate to the new drive.
That's an idea! But I don't think there is any room for a 2nd drive. I guess could remove the CD/DVR writer (doesn't work well and wastes CDs/DVDs due to some error!!) and use that slot for as a 2nd drive. Thank you!

Quote from JslicdealsGuest :
I have done this exact upgrade many times. You'll need an external USB-3.x-to-Sata adapter and Macrium Reflect (great free cloning software). Plug ssd into external adapter, plug adapter into AIO, use Macrium to clone drives, then swap out old 3.5" hdd for new SSD. SSD's are so lightweight you can use a good quality double-sided foam tape to secure in the cavity of old hdd. Boot pc (sometimes takes two boots to finalize ssd drivers) and you should be good to go.
Yes, I've got an external USB to sata adapter and also Macrium Reflect. Thanks for the tip about using the tape.

Okay thanks for the spec info, but what does any of that mean?

Oh I wasn't suggesting you keep the hdd in there with the new ssd, just as far as transferring your data and os, an internal sata cable is cheaper than anything involving USB, or you can use the one for the optical. Of course if you want to keep using the original HD that's where an enclosure makes sense.

Music storage this should be fine. As for corn, you might instead want to get those little things with the prongs you stick on each side of the cob.

So if you have a 3.5 drive now you'll need a 2.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive Mounting Kit. if you have a 2.5 drive now just switch it out. I have an HP AIO it has a m2/NVE drive but there is a space to mount 3.5 drive so I'd need a mounting kit.

What kind of super old aio has a 3.5 in it? Must be a thick boy. To be honest you can just dangle an SSD in a 3.5 slot to no ill effect.

Not sure I'd spend $50 on such low TBW raring (250+). Rather invest another $20 to achieve 450-500TBW
The warranted TBW would be the least of my concerns. The VAST majority of people will never come anywhere close to it during the useful lifetime of the drive, much less the warranty period (which is what this number applies to).
